Inheritance and Estates
Anyone living in Switzerland who has to settle an inheritance in Italy often faces heirs, assets and procedures across two different legal systems. We support you with the inheritance in Italy, from the opening of the estate to dealing with the other heirs.
Cross-border inheritances
When the deceased or the heirs live in Switzerland but the assets are located in Italy, the inheritance requires coordinating the rules of both countries. We review the inheritance situation and support you through the necessary steps in Italy.
Wills and estate planning
If you wish to plan your succession in advance, we assist you in drafting and reviewing wills and dispositions, taking into account your Swiss residence and any assets located in Italy.
Heirs and assets in Italy
We take care of dealings with the other heirs, the Italian notary and the tax authorities, including in the event of disagreements among co-heirs. We follow the matter from the declaration of succession through to the distribution of the assets.
